Fat Brain Toys: PlayTab Sensory Set 1 (Flipper, Number Dial, Maze Tile)
Product URL: https://curiouskidzz.com.au/products/fat-brain-toys-playtab-sensory-set-1
Product Description The PlayTab Sensory Set 1 is a modular tactile system designed to turn any flat surface into a high-engagement fidget board. This set includes three distinct interactive tiles: the Flipper, the Number Dial, and the Maze Tile. Each piece is engineered to provide specific sensory feedback, from the satisfying "clack" of the flipper to the rhythmic rotation of the dial. Whether used as a standalone desktop tool or attached to the PlayTab board (sold separately), these tiles offer a portable, mess-free solution for fine-motor practice and anxiety reduction.
Summary Founders take: We love Set 1 because it addresses the basic human need to "fidget" with high-quality, durable components. It's a low-setup sensory tool that works perfectly when a child needs a quiet, tactile outlet to help them regulate. It's particularly strong for transition times or as a calming "desk buddy" during focused activities.

-
Great for: Toddlers (ages 12 months+) developing pincer grips, children who benefit from fidget tools for focus, and therapists looking for portable fine-motor tasks.
-
Not ideal for: Children who still mouth their toys, or those looking for a high-intensity, structured game with a competitive outcome.
